Kohno Guitar No.6.
Masaru Kohno is Japan's foremost luthier and is known for making some of the finest classical guitars in the world.
In 1960, he went to Spain to learn a trade. In 1967, he was awarded the Gold Medal at the Elizabeth's Concourse International Guitar Competition in Belgium, bringing his name to the forefront of the world. Many famous classical guitar players have used Kohno guitars including Julian Bream, Oscar Gighlia, and many others.
Although Kohno started making guitars in 1948, it wasn't until returning to Japan in 1960, after a six-month trip to Spain (where he apprenticed with Arcangel Fernandez), that he founded his own workshop. .
The sound that the Kohno No.6 guitar produces is warm, sweet and lyrical, with clear round trebles and uniquely resonant bass.
